Tasca Del Tio Andres - Cartagena

So we chose this because it looked like Spanish restaurants should look some brickwork arches, terracotta, hanging hams, plenty of wines, pure white cotton tablecloths and napkins, solid wooden chairs, etc. The waiters greeted us invitingly and made us feel at ease immediately. Our menu choices were a little idiosyncratic, but 'no importa '. A delicious soft chorizo was served with the crispy fresh bread rolls. The wine was lovely. Then the food came OMG. Out of the ten very good meals we had had in the five days we had been in Spain, this surpassed all of them. We were blown away by the quality and the taste. My daughter 's massive plate of 'orejas ' put her in seventh heaven, my partner 's salad with goat 's cheese and strawberries 'was the best meal she 'd eaten in a very long time ' (and we 'd eaten at a 'Great British Banquet ' chef 's restaurant in England the week before! , my steak (and it 's knife was peerless and one of my sons laughed in delight at the richness and silkiness of his oxtail. There 's a terrace out on the pavement, a bar area for tapas and beers and the restaurant where we ate. What 's not to love?

They recently expanded. Great food stayed and so did the staff. Still friendly. Opens late but worth it. Prices have risen a bit. But where is that not the case? When you are in Cartagena do take the walk to dine here. It is worth it!

The menu is traditional Spanish and delicious. The service is excellent and very friendly. We felt very welcome and enjoyed our dinner. The prices are okay.

Todo muy bueno, de muy buena calidad y el servicio aún mejor.

La verdad es que cada vez que voy quedo encantado con sus platos. Aunqie sea algo ruidoso merece la pena. El servicio es atento, aunque si está muy lleno pueden tardar en las comandas más de lo que uno espera o desea.
